South Stars reluctant to romance

Gautham Menon on South Stars romancing on screen. Gautham Menon known for his ever green classics, speaking to scribes made startling revelations about south stars perception of on screen romance.

Speaking at the Bengaluru International Film Festival, he said “No star actor wants to do a romance these days. I approached stars in Tamil, Telugu and even Kannada but the minute I told them it was a romance, they either postponed our meeting or didn’t want to meet! You should ask them why,” smiled the ‘king of romance’.

He continued “Thankfully I haven’t run out of these stories yet. That’s how I started my film journey and I am continuing that journey. I love to be part of the filmmaking process and bringing the audience to theatres. Every film of mine has been experimental in that sense. Even when Kaakha Kaakha released, the first few days the audience didn’t take to the film because it was something very new in terms of cuts and so on. But then people loved it,”
